Overview
Each year the Commission awards Master’s scholarships for Moroccan post- licence students to pursue a master’s degree in the United States. These scholarships are funded by the governments of Morocco and the United States.
Details
Applicants complete an on-line application form which includes a personal essay, an essay on why they want to study in the United States, three letters of recommendation, transcripts of their academic record (relevés de notes), and various additional information.
Applicants must provide the Commission with scores on two tests:
- TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
- GRE (Graduate Record Examinations General Test) for most fields of study, or the
- GMAT (Graduate Management Achievement Test) for Business Administration.
These tests are administered in Morocco on specific dates by AMIDEAST Morocco.
Applicants must register in advance.
Selected candidates for the scholarship are called “Fulbright nominees” who are then placed in the hands of AMIDEAST and learn how to apply to American universities. In collaboration with the Commission and AMIDEAST, nominees select four potential university placements for which to apply. AMIDEAST and MACECE make the final choice among the four universities for the nominee.
